New Subaru Getaway Electric 3-Row SUV | Gainesville, FL

Many families who visit us compare the Forester or evaluate the Crosstrek for their daily needs, but the Getaway introduces a scale of interior room previously reserved for the Ascent. Many drivers appreciate the tactile, user-friendly nature of our vehicles, and Subaru has ensured this new EV maintains that approachable feel. It will feature the latest EyeSight driver assist technology as standard equipment, providing the same peace of mind local parents expect when navigating school zones or busy intersections.

Preparing for an EV lifestyle in our climate involves more than just picking a color; it means understanding how to maintain these advanced systems. Our service team is ready to support this new platform, from routine brake system maintenance to specialized battery health checks. Even though the powertrain is different, the commitment to longevity remains the same as what you find with our traditional service. If you want to be among the first to see the Getaway when it lands, you can contact our team to join our notification list.

Defining the Specs of the First Three-Row Subaru EV

The 2027 Subaru Getaway is built on a dedicated electric vehicle architecture that prioritizes passenger volume and structural rigidity. At launch, every model will be equipped with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system that generates 420 hp, allowing this large SUV to reach 60 mph in roughly 5 seconds. This level of performance ensures that even when the vehicle is fully loaded with seven passengers and their luggage, it maintains the confident acceleration needed for merging onto the highway or passing safely.

Subaru has confirmed that the initial launch will feature a 95.8-kWh battery pack, which is estimated to provide more than 300 miles of driving range on a full charge. This capacity is ideal for those who frequently travel between Gainesville and the surrounding areas without wanting to stop for frequent top-offs. For those who may not need the maximum possible range, a second variant with a 77-kWh battery is expected to join the lineup later. While we wait for the first units to arrive, you can browse our current new-vehicle inventory to see how the brand's design language is evolving.

Inside the cabin, the Getaway balances high-tech features with practical utility. A 14-inch touchscreen serves as the hub for navigation and entertainment, while a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster keeps the driver informed of battery status and safety alerts. Families can choose between a seven-passenger layout with a second-row bench or a six-passenger configuration featuring captain's chairs. If you need a capable family hauler today, you might explore the new Forester Hybrid or check out the Trailseeker, both of which offer a preview of the premium materials and intuitive layouts found in the upcoming EV.

Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and Off-Road Capability for Local Trails

Standard all-wheel drive is a hallmark of the Subaru brand, and the Getaway carries this tradition into the electric era with a dual-motor setup that provides instantaneous torque to all four wheels. This system is particularly useful for navigating the sandy soils and occasional wetlands found near Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park. Unlike some competitors that offer all-wheel drive only as a costly upgrade, Subaru has made it a core component of the Getaway's identity, ensuring every driver has the traction needed for Florida's sudden rainstorms.

With about 8 inches of ground clearance, the Getaway sits higher than many other electric three-row SUVs, making it better suited for the light off-roading required to reach local trailheads or campsites. It also includes X-Mode, which optimizes the electric motors for slippery or uneven surfaces, including specific programs for deep mud and dirt. While we prepare for this new model, we often see shoppers look at the Crosstrek Hybrid for its efficiency and grip. We also maintain a diverse selection for those who want to view our used Subaru options or see our new featured vehicles that currently occupy our lot.

The utility of the Getaway extends to its towing capacity, which is rated at 3,500 lbs. This is enough to pull a small boat or a pair of jet skis for a weekend at the lake. It is worth noting that towing will impact the total driving range, but the standard all-wheel-drive system ensures that the vehicle remains stable and composed even when hauling a heavy load. Whether you are navigating paved streets or gravel back roads, the electric powertrain's low center of gravity provides a planted, secure feeling that is immediately noticeable during a test drive.

Efficiency and Charging Dynamics for the Florida Commute

Charging the 2027 Subaru Getaway is designed to be as seamless as possible, thanks to the inclusion of a native NACS (Tesla-compatible) port. This allows local owners to utilize the extensive Tesla Supercharger network in addition to standard CCS stations with an adapter. On a 150-kW DC fast charger, the Getaway can replenish its battery from 10% to 80% in approximately 30 minutes. This means a quick stop for a snack or coffee is often all the time needed to add significant range for a trip through Lake City, toward Jacksonville.

For daily use, most owners will find that Level 2 home charging is the most convenient option. Plugging in overnight allows the vehicle to reach a full charge while you sleep, ensuring you start every morning with roughly 300 miles of range. If you are currently driving a model like the Impreza or the Crosstrek, transitioning to an electric commute offers a significant reduction in weekly fuel costs. We also invite you to browse our pre-owned Subaru inventory if you are looking for a reliable bridge vehicle until the Getaway officially launches.

Our hot Florida climate puts specific demands on EV batteries, and Subaru has equipped the Getaway with an advanced thermal management system to maintain efficiency during our sustained summer heat. Parking in the shade or using a garage for charging can further help preserve battery health over the long term. Our team is always available to discuss how local driving patterns and temperatures affect EV performance, helping you plan for a smooth transition to electric driving without any surprises regarding range or charging times.

Elevating the Family Experience Over Traditional Luxury Rivals

When we look at the Getaway alongside luxury electric SUVs like the Tesla Model X, the Subaru's value proposition becomes clear through its focus on practical family needs. While some high-end rivals emphasize flashy door designs or minimalist cabins, the Getaway prioritizes durable materials and a layout that can actually survive a week of carpooling and pet hauling. The interior features stain-resistant surfaces and plenty of physical controls that make it easy to adjust the climate or volume without taking your eyes off the road - a detail that many of our Gen X and Millennial parents appreciate.

The third row in the Getaway is designed for real-world use, offering space that is comparable to the Kia EV9. While the very back is often best suited for kids, it can accommodate adults for shorter trips across town. When the third row is not needed, it folds flat into the floor at the push of a button, expanding the cargo area from about 16 cubic feet to a generous 46 cubic feet. This flexibility is similar to what you might find when you search our used inventory for larger SUVs, but with the added benefit of a quiet, vibration-free electric drive.

For those who enjoy a more spirited driving experience when the kids aren't in the car, the 420-hp output provides plenty of excitement. While it isn't a dedicated sports car like the new BRZ, the instant torque of the electric motors makes it feel much smaller and more agile than its physical dimensions suggest. You can also check our used SUVs to see how other three-row models compare in terms of floor space and seat comfort, but we believe the Getaway's combination of standard safety and EV efficiency will set a new benchmark for local families.
